Circus Vargas opened at The Great Mall Thursday, August 30 and at the 8 p.m. show, Milpitas Chamber CEO Carol Kassab welcomed fans as the "Guest Ringmaster." Young children were invited just before the show into the ring to spin hula hoops and balance long feathers. This exciting event offered clowns, jugglers, trapeze artists, daring motorcyclists, a singing ringmaster, dancers, a tight rope performer, a rocket man, and more. Old favorites including popcorn, cotton candy, soft drinks, and souvenirs were on sale.
